Maximo Park Acrobat Lyrics

You've got to catch an early plane and it's no surprise, I'm standing still
Another minute more is all I need and I'll never have enough
This room gets so cold in the winter, what will it take to heat this house?
I just want to feel comfortable when there's only the two of us in my bed
My foot nearly brushes your leg, I can't draw it away, I can't push it forward
It lies stranded, it belongs to someone else
We knew each other once this can't be what you want
But you didn't have to demolish me

I don't remember losing sight of your needs
I don't remember losing sight of your needs

I am not an acrobat
I cannot perform these tricks for you
Losing all my balance
Falling from a wire made for you The sky is often used as a metaphor
I suppose that's 'cause it's so big and expensive
When a long stranded cloud sits just above the horizon
Leaving a strip of clear blue beneath it, it becomes the panorama
And you turn your head 360 degrees
And the same line follows you round
If the land is sufficiently flat
Really nothing can be compared to it

I don't remember losing sight of your needs
I don't remember losing sight of your needs, your needs

I am not an acrobat
I cannot perform these tricks for you
Losing all my balance
Falling from a wire made for you

I am not an acrobat
I can't perform these tricks for you
Losing all my balance
Falling from a wire made for you
